One free and professional source of credit information is your bank. Your banking officer may be able to offer you a great deal of professional, free advice, especially as banks are trying harder and harder to provide good personal services to customers.
Your bank may also have a number of credit solutions - such as overdraft protection - that can help you keep your credit in good repair. Banks are realizing more and more that many of their clients are dealing with less than ideal credit. Banks are trying to meet the demands of this new group and can actually be a powerful ally for those who are trying to improve their credit.

A good team of professionals can help you get your credit score back in shape. Your most important member of your team is yourself - you are the one with the financial agency and (with this ebook) the knowledge to become your own best advocate in credit repair. Besides this, you may want to check with your local library for financial help books. You may also want to include financial experts such as credit counselors or others to help you. If you decide to seek a team of experts to help, be sure that you check each person's credential, standing with the Better Business Bureau, and past clients to make sure that the person or company can really help you. Beyond this, make sure that you sign a contract or agreement with each professional member of your team. |

If you need credit repair, odds are good that your finances aren't in the best possible shape. That likely means that you should attempt to spend as little as possible on credit repair - the money you save can be channeled into repaying your debts. Before seeking credit repair services, follow the tips in this ebook in order to repair your own credit.
Also, seek out free or inexpensive sources of credit repair help. Some non-profit credit counseling services are actually registered charities and will work on your behalf. If you can get help from one of these companies or undertake credit repair yourself, you will be able to save money quite easily.
In addition, these companies tend to be more legitimate than credit repair companies that take your money, anyway.

There are a number of credit repair scams out there. These scams often promise to help free you of bad credit, when in reality the "experts" offering these services will either overcharge you, involve you in illegal activity, or actually put you in a worse financial situation. Look out for these most common scams:
1) Credit repair companies that tell you to lie on loan applications or suggest that you develop a second identity. This is illegal and dishonest. If a company suggests that you open accounts in a new name or falsify your information on loan applications, run, don't walk, away.
You can be charged with fraud for doing this - and you will be held responsible for your actions, even if you were acting under the company's advisement. You certainly don't want to add legal troubles to your credit woes.
2) Credit repair companies that charge you fees or hidden fees for things you could do for free yourself - such as work out a budget. Also be wary of companies that ask for money up front. |

Many companies out there advertise that they can help you with credit repair, but the quality of these services - not to mention what they offer - varies widely. Some companies really can help you with credit repair while others are actually under investigation for suspect business practices. If you decide to seek help from a credit repair company, be sure that the company is legitimate and offers you viable services.
In general, you should be looking for non-profit credit counseling services rather than credit repair companies (some of which are really just lenders offering home equity loans anyway, which are of limited use to you if you want to improve your credit). |
